Mavenlink is a software-as-a-service company that provides software and services for advanced project management, task collaboration, resource allocation, work management and professional services automation. The company has offices in Irvine, California, San Francisco, California, Salt Lake City, Utah, and Boston, Massachusetts.
Mavenlink was founded in 2008 by Ray Grainger, Roger Neel and Sean Crafts. The idea for Mavenlink was conceived when the three co-founders, who had previously worked at InQuira together, realized there was an opportunity for small and medium-sized businesses to leverage enterprise software applications for managing projects and conducting business online, and access a wide network of consultants and service providers.
With the growth of cloud computing in 2008 and increased business expenditures in IT cloud services, the co-founders saw an opportunity to create a workforce collaboration tool that would address an ecosystem of internal and external workforces. Mavenlink’s brand name was partially inspired by the concept of “Mavens,” a personality type described in The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. Gladwell defined “Mavens” as “information specialists,” or “people we rely upon to connect us with new information.”
